I didn't intend it as a bad thing, it was well said, the phrasing just struck me as a bit anachronistic.Quote:

Sorta the point I was making.

Do you know the evolutionary reasons why we have anxiety? It is for us to be aware of dangers to us. It's why we buy life and home owners insurance. There's a mindset between cheerfull dolt and nervous worrywort that we ought reside. Iceage's happen but global warming is no etheral boggeyman which resides in our darker thoughts. The very real threat of it is serious. So serious, indeed, that it is most pragmatic to make action against it. If your line of thinking, Master, is conservitive then I must wonder what the hell it is you're conserving. Making certain that there is a long and healthy future for all of mankind seems to me paramount.
It is the apathy of others, like youself, which inspires the idea that we will fully deserve such a fate. The saying "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing," might be familiar to you. I know the problems we face, evenly weiging the evidence for and against it, and I know that they are real. I also know that problems that are created by humans can be solved by humans.
We are privledged to influence and perhaps control our future. I belive we have an obligation to fight for life on Earth - not just for ourselves, but for all those, humans and others, who came before us, and to whom we are beholden, and for all those who, if we are wise enough, will come after. There is no cause more urgent, no dedication more fitting than to protect the future of our species. No social convention, no political system, no economic hypothesis, no religious dogma is more important.
What are some of the options on changing this from happening assuming it holds true? All I've been reading is "You're fucked! CARE! CARE, YOU BASTARDS!"
Skip that horseshit and get with the options, that's what I like to hear about when the world's gonna go to an ice covered lump of shit.
I never started worrying about it.Quote:

-40. Suck it up.
That said, I don't know (and doubt anyone does) exactly what impact we're having on the planet. But c'mon -- you don't think the 6.4 billion of us aren't having some sort of cumulative effect?
